WELCOME What an extraordinary time it continues to be for film and television. In recent years, the entertainment industry has weathered enormous challenges and rapid change, yet creativity has remained resilient and boundless. Once again, audiences have been rewarded with an exceptional array of inventive, daring, enlightening, and deeply entertaining films and television programs. Tonight, we gather to honor the very best of that work. Hard-working professional critics and entertainment reporters play a vital role in helping audiences discover the movies and shows most worthy of their attention every day. This evening, the more than 500 members of the Critics Choice Association bring their collective expertise together to celebrate outstanding performers and creators, joined by our colleagues and friends here at the Barker Hangar. We are delighted to have the fabulously funny Chelsea Handler return to host the festivities, and we are thrilled that our dynamic domestic broadcast partner, Versant, is sharing the excitement live with viewers across the country on E! and USA, including our eye-popping Red Carpet. Versant is a very exciting new company and working with Val Borland, Christian McLaughlin and all the incredible people at Versant has been joyful. The best in the business, executive producer Bob Bain and his team, always make assembling this show a pleasure. Special thanks to the indefatigable Cheryl Teetzel-Moore, Augie Max Vargas, Kelly Brock, Michael Dempsey, Andrea Regalado, Philip D’Amour, Kurt Guisler, Jeremy Tominberg, Scott Welborn, Tom Kenny, Gary Natoli, Jaz Prasertlum, Michael Potts, Melissa Wong, Nicole Gauthier-Tominberg, Russell “Spud” Murphy, Dano Rowley, Megan McLaughlin, Katie Carlin, Marti Ramirez, Jackie Stathis, Sharon Moscoso, Candice Clark, and the rest of the team. Thanks to Vicky Ryan at Rainmaker Content and Saralo MacGregor at North Node, as well as Peter Hartz and The Switch, for taking our show around the world. Special shoutouts to our longtime partners at Turner Latin America and LA Creative Catering. The steady leadership of the CCA deserves recognition, starting with CEO Joey Berlin, SVP David Freedman, Marketing VP Madelyn Hammond, and our mighty Board of Directors: Christopher Campbell, Jacqueline Coley, Clayton Davis, Grae Drake, Shawn Edwards, Carla Renata, and Derek Sante, Outside Board Members Bob Bain and Sam Linsky, along with Film Branch president Pete Hammond, TV Branch president, Digital VP Lisa Waters, Digital Sales Director Kymber Allen and the unnamed and unabashed members of our TV Nominating Committees. Our deepest gratitude goes to our event sponsors: FIJI Water, Cold Stone Creamery, Milagro Tequila, Old Bridge Wines. The sage counsel of Dan Black of Greenberg Traurig remains vital to our success. Javier Infante, Dera Freund, Ken Rose, Andy Gelb, Julia Rossen and APEX PR, Deanna White at Souza & Associates, Diane Salerno, and program booklet publisher and designer Josh Orenstein are most esteemed allies. Finally, on behalf of the CCA membership—whose dedication and wisdom are at the heart of the Critics Choice Awards—we offer our heartfelt thanks to each of our Nominees and Presenters, and to all our friends across the industry and creative community, for joining us on this special night. Our enduring promise to actors, writers, directors, and producers remains unchanged: bring us your best work, and we will help the public find it.
